my return 2002

Chapter 242 Belongs to Our Era

On the second day after the news spread, the underground parking garage of the building where Inspur Technology is located was filled with a lot of luxury cars, and the security guard stared straight at him. He would be troubled if this thing scratched a car casually.

Moreover, the security guard also found that these people who got off the luxury car were all well-dressed, and many of them knew each other. Some of the more familiar ones got on the elevator together shoulder to shoulder, and some glared at each other, looking like enemies. of.

Jiang Yan and Xiao Cai were also among this group of people, and Xiao Cai, who was behind, secretly said to Jiang Yan.

"Director Jiang, it seems that well-known investment banks at home and abroad are here today? The one in front seems to be Xiong Xiaoge from IDG, and the one next to him seems to be Shen Nanpeng from Sequoia Capital."

Jiang Yan patted Xiao Cai on the shoulder lightly: "Don't be so nervous, no matter what, such a large-scale fundraising is rare in ten years, so it's just an observation experience."

"Ah."

Seeing Xiao Cai nodding seriously, Jiang Yan couldn't help but secretly sighed. She also knew that Fuhua Financial's resources could not compare with these top capitals at home and abroad, but she was still not reconciled and wanted to give it a try.

With a ding sound, the elevator arrived.

Among the crowd, Lei Jun was very busy, and Shen Lang scratched his head a little. The company's office area really couldn't accommodate so many people, so he had no choice but to book a meeting room in a hotel nearby, and the scene was a bit chaotic.

"Everyone, I'm really sorry, let's chat in another place." Shen Lang really didn't expect the news from these investment banks to be so sensitive, and they all came together as if they had made an appointment.

"Understand."

"It's okay, just treat it as a sport."

These investment bank elites are all very magnanimous. Money can turn ghosts around, let alone say a few good words.

Shen Lang also spotted Jiang Yan in the crowd, and nodded at her. Immediately, the investment bankers looked at Jiang Yan in a wrong way, and they were probably thinking about the relationship between her and Shen Lang.

Those investment bank elites who didn't take her seriously before all smiled kindly at Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan couldn't help but sigh with emotion. She vaguely remembered that when Shen Lang first started his business, she still had a little fantasy. If Shen Lang failed to start his business, he could be recalled to Fuhua Finance. As a result, three years later, Shen Lang's achievements have been far away. It was beyond her imagination, just saying hello can cause such a big response, thinking about it now, it really feels like a world away.

A group of investment bank elites took several elevator rides before going downstairs in batches and came to the hotel next door.

After that, people from venture capital institutions rushed over after hearing the news, and the whole process lasted for half an hour.

Seeing that there were fewer people coming from behind, Shen Lang knew that it was almost done, so he changed the subject and said seriously.

"Everyone, first of all thank you for your love for our company. I didn't expect so many friends to come. I didn't greet you well, which made everyone laugh."

Shen Nanpeng said with a smile: "President Shen is too polite, we should be embarrassed to disturb the normal operation of the company."

Everyone agreed for a while.

When everyone calmed down, Shen Lang said again: "I also understand the purpose of everyone's visit, but I am also very embarrassed. The company will be relocated soon, and the business of each company needs to be integrated by the end of the year. I am afraid that there is no way to give you a Accurate responses."

Everyone whispered for a while.

Xiong Xiaoge said to Shen Lang at this time: "Mr. Shen, you have seen the situation now. There are more wolves and less flesh, and competition is inevitable. But I can guarantee one thing, the conditions that IDG can offer will never be lower than yours." psychological price."

"The conditions offered by our Sequoia Capital will definitely not be worse than any other company." Shen Nanpeng said in a confident voice.

Although Sequoia Capital Huaxia Fund has only been established for more than a month, Shen Nanpeng has the confidence to say this in terms of funds and resources with the backing of the US headquarters.

Soon, several other powerful venture capital institutions also expressed their views and showed their muscles.

These include well-known domestic investment groups such as Goldman Sachs, Softbank, and China Resources.

It was just a face-to-face meeting, and some other venture capital institutions with insufficient family backgrounds knew that there was a high probability that they were out of business. The reason why they did not leave was more of a learning mentality, and wanted to see this grand event of the venture capital industry .

As for some medium-sized venture capital institutions, they have the mentality of trying it out. Some people fail to negotiate and cannot lead the investment.

Shen Lang and Lei Jun exchanged glances: "How about this, I will go to the next room with Mr. Lei to discuss it first, and I will reply to everyone in 10 minutes, please wait a moment."

After saying that, Shen Lang and Lei Jun came to the next room.

"What is your plan?"

After closing the door, Lei Jun couldn't wait to ask.

Shen Lang thought for a while: "I plan to integrate the multiplayer community, game business department, and Xingchen Chinese website into a brand new cultural and entertainment company. Inspur, Bolang, and Zhulang will raise funds separately."

Lei Jun thought for a moment and nodded: "Well, YY's current business can basically be separated from the blood transfusion of the Duwan community. It is indeed easier to manage when it is separated out and integrated with the game and novel sections."

"How many shares do you plan to take out of Inspur, Bolang, and Zhulang?"

Shen Lang thought for a moment: "Zhulang 20%, Langchao and Bolang 25%, what do you think?"

"Well, yes." Lei Jun heaved a sigh of relief. Originally, he thought that Shen Lang, a miser, had always held shares so tightly, and this time he was reluctant to give out too many shares. He didn't expect to be so generous.

"In addition, I also plan to take 10% of the shares of each company to make an equity incentive plan."

The company has developed to a certain level. If you want to retain talents, just giving money is no longer feasible. No matter how high the annual salary is, you are still a wage earner.

Lei Jun shrugged: "As long as you are willing, I am the beneficiary, of course I am happy."

Shen Lang rolled his eyes, Lei Jun asked again.

"Then how do you plan to choose these investment banks?"

Shen Lang analyzed: "For foreign capital, choose IDG and Sequoia, and for domestic capital, choose China Resources, Shenzhen Venture Capital, and Magic City Lianchuang."

Lei Jun couldn't help frowning when he heard the words: "Should I add another Goldman Sachs?"

Shen Lang shook his head directly. Goldman Sachs is definitely one of the investment banks on Wall Street that likes to cheat Chinese companies.

Seeing Shen Lang's firm attitude, Lei Jun didn't persuade him anymore, and the two left the room and went to the meeting room next door.

The moment the door was opened, all the venture capital elites on the scene set their eyes on Shen Lang. At this time, the admission ticket for wealth was in his hands, and anyone who got the admission ticket would benefit from it. Great wealth and fame.

Shen Lang repeated what he had just said to Lei Jun. The selected companies were naturally very excited, and the ones who were not selected could only let out a long sigh, depressed that he missed the ticket to board the fortune ship.

However, they were all elites in the industry, and each of them behaved decently. They either generously congratulated Shen Nanpeng and the others, or got up and left silently.

Jiang Yan also left with Xiao Cai disappointed, leaving only Shen Nanpeng and the others in the venue.

Shen Lang talked about the specific investment plan again. As for the valuation, it will not be finalized until each company completes the evaluation report, but for them, this is secondary. They are now the first batch to enter the market. No matter how you calculate it, you are making money.

"Mr. Shen, I fully understand that you integrated the game business with the Duowan community and Xingchen Chinese website, but why did you want this newly established company to be independent from the investment list?" Shen Nanpeng asked.

Shen Lang explained casually: "Cultural and entertainment projects are temporarily funded, and I haven't figured out how to do it yet, so let's put it aside for now."

Xiong Xiaoge and the others couldn't help but roll their eyes. For a person who has quietly weaved such a large network in three years, no one would believe that he would think about it and start doing business restructuring. .

But there is no way, who let the initiative be in Shen Lang's hands, and he has no shortage of funds, so he can't force him to give you the shares, right?

Next, these investment banks formed an evaluation team to enter the company and began a series of operations such as asset checking and financial auditing.

And Shen Lang was not idle, and went to Jinmen with Lei Jun. The previous plan to build a data center in North China has been approved by the local government. The Jinmen government provided a block of 8.6 square meters at a very low price. According to the design drawings of the Design Institute, it can accommodate 18 servers, and it will become the largest data center in Asia after completion.

Since the frozen soil season in the north is about to enter, the construction can only be carried out in the spring of next year. Shen Lang and Lei Jun went there this time mainly to negotiate with the Jinmen government on some details after they settled in.

By the time Shen Lang and Lei Jun came back, it was already December, the audit team of the venture capital company had also withdrawn, and the company had also started preparing to move to a new office building.

A new office building is more than just a simple office location.

The second and third floors were transformed into a company canteen by Shen Lang, which is convenient for employees to eat. The original office building really did not have this condition. The employees can only eat fast food outside. Not to mention expensive, it is not hygienic. Now there are conditions Now, Shen Lang naturally wants to solve the worries for the employees.

Sometimes retaining employees is not just about giving money. Food, housing and transportation are all important indicators when choosing employment.

The fourth floor was transformed by Shen Lang into a fitness center and a game experience hall. Working in the Internet industry is actually very stressful and needs a space to decompress and relax.

The fifth and sixth floors are the office area, the seventh floor is the conference room, the eighth floor is the independent offices of the executives, and the offices of Shen Lang and Lei Jun are on the highest ninth floor.

Shen Lang said to Lei Jun: "Let's contract out the canteen, find a few more qualified catering companies, and rent them to them in the form of stalls, so that employees have more choices, so as not to deduct their meals."

Lei Jun nodded: "We are already accepting external recruitment, and we can arrange it before the end of the month."

Afterwards, Shen Lang and Lei Jun walked all the way up, and finally came to Shen Lang's office on the top floor. Lei Jun stood in front of the glass window and said with emotion.

"I didn't expect this day to come so soon."

Shen Lang also had some feelings: "Actually, I didn't expect such a day to come."

If he hadn't been reborn, he would have just slumped in a small partition of an office building, keeping his head down like a social animal, running around for three meals a day, and started to grow gray hair in a large area at a young age. At the age of 35, he was "" optimization” and become “flexible employment” personnel.

On December 12nd, the wind was blowing cold, but the campus of Dongda University was very lively. It was not because of any large-scale sports meeting held by the school, but because of a campus job fair.

Originally, after Shen Lang gave a speech at Dongda University, the students of Dongda University had a particularly good impression of him, and the school has been promoting this campus job fair.

Coupled with the strength shown by Shen Lang in the "Three Gold Wars" last month, the students of Dongda University were even more shocked.

Emotionally, people will sympathize with the weak, but when it comes to their future career development, it is natural to choose the strong, which is why many companies want to go public.

It's very simple. With the same salary, one is a listed company and the other is a non-listed company. How do you choose when you are employed?Most people will choose a listed company. If they stay in the company for a few years and get promoted, they will be managed by a listed company. How much face do they have?

"Mr. Shen, look, the students are very enthusiastic." Principal Li said with satisfaction while pulling Shen Lang.

There is no way to be dissatisfied. In this job fair, Shen Lang helped the school solve 150 jobs, and they were all high-paying jobs.

Shen Lang nodded with a smile. In 2006, the company's business will also usher in great development. Naturally, more talents are needed. A team of more than 300 people is far from meeting the demand. This is only the first batch. After the start of next year, There will also be a spring job fair, but it will not be a special event for Dongda University at that time, and all famous universities in Shanghai will be in the recruitment plan.

While talking, suddenly a female voice came from behind.

Shen Lang looked back and saw that it was Yang Mei who was the receptionist at the University Student Entrepreneurship Conference. Seeing that she was holding many recruitment brochures in her hand, he asked curiously.

"Which department are you planning to join?"

Yang Mei smiled triumphantly: "I don't plan to enter any of them, I plan to apply for your assistant."

Shen Lang was stunned for a moment, and Principal Li next to him was also amused, and joked: "Boss Shen, I think this girl is pretty good, she is quite suitable for this position."

"Then you have to think clearly, the position of assistant to the president is not for ordinary people, and there will be many excellent people competing with you." Shen Lang threatened.

"As long as you don't get stuck with work experience, you can compete if you compete. I'm not afraid." Yang Mei raised her chin arrogantly.

Shen Lang smiled: "Okay then, I'll open a back door for you. You've passed the initial test. Someone will contact you to take part in the re-test. It's up to you whether you can seize the opportunity."

Seeing Yang Mei happily running away, Principal Li said to Shen Lang.

"Mr. Shen, since you're here today, why don't you say a few words to our students at Dongdae University?"

Shen Lang thought for a while, but didn't refuse.

The last time Shen Lang's speech impressed the students of Dongda University, but that time it was a weekend and there were relatively few people. This time, the number of people was much larger than before, and the crowd surrounded them.

Shen Lang looked at these immature faces, as if he was talking to them, but also as if he was talking to himself.

"Students, I know that you are about to face the society. You have worries, longings, and anxiety. They say that university is a small society, but when you really go to society, you will find that this is a society full of competition and pressure. , or even a society of conspiracies and tricks, what should we do? Go backwards? Time will not go backwards, and we also have no way out, we can only go forward."

"We can only constantly adapt to this society. At the same time, we don't have to be too pessimistic. Everything will pass. Many difficulties that we now seem to be almost hopeless, when you look back after many years, you will find that it is actually not that difficult."

"Human life is very short. It takes a quarter of our time to graduate from college. At this moment, we only have three-quarters of the time, and we have to get rid of our seventy-eighth company. Days when you can’t move.”

"The remaining half of the time will determine the splendor and thickness of our life. Students, your time is coming!"
